Two beams of coherent light travel different paths, arriving at point P. If the destructive interference is to occur at point P,

what should be the path difference between the two waves
Physics

6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

When two coherent light beams travel different paths and arrive at a point , there will be difference in the length of path travelled by them . If this difference is zero then both will reinforce each other and their brightness will add up . Hence there will be constructive interference .

If their path difference is not zero but it is equal to odd multiple of their half wavelength like λ / 2 , 3 λ / 2 , 5 λ /2 , 7 λ /2 etc , then instead of reinforcing each other , they will destroy each other . This is called destructive interference . As a result of it , darkness will prevail at the point where they meet or interfere.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

0m

Explanation:

since the string is rigidly attached to the post, the reflected and incident pulses are of the same amplitude but different polarities. At the point where the two pulses meet, the amplitude will be the addition of that of the incident and the reflected pulses. i.e Amplitude= 0.25 + -0.25=0m

A firecracker breaks up into two pieces , one has a mass of 200 g and files off along the x –axis with a speed of 82.0 m/s and t
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

A) 21.2 kg.m/s at 39.5 degrees from the x-axis

Explanation:

Mass of the smaller piece = 200g = 200/1000 = 0.2 kg

Mass of the bigger piece = 300g = 300/1000 = 0.3 kg

Velocity of the small piece = 82 m/s

Velocity of the bigger piece = 45 m/s

Final momentum of smaller piece = 0.2 × 82 = 16.4 kg.m/s

Final momentum of bigger piece = 0.3 × 45 = 13.5 kg.m/s

since they acted at 90oc to each other (x and y axis) and also momentum is vector quantity; then we can use Pythagoras theorems

Resultant momentum² = 16.4² + 13.5² = 451.21

Resultant momentum = √451.21 = 21.2 kg.m/s at angle 39.5 degrees to the x-axis  ( tan^-1 (13.5 / 16.4)
